CHURCH COVENANT

As a body of believers, having confessed with our mouth the Lord Jesus Christ

and having believed in our hearts that God have raised him from the dead, we

are saved. Hereby, on the public expression of our faith, having been baptized

in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, in the presence

of God and His Holy Word, we do now enter into covenant with one another as

one body in Christ.

We, agree therefore, by the leadership of the Holy Spirit, to love the Lord our

God with all our heart, soul and mind; to love our neighbor as ourselves, and to

walk together in Christian love by assembling ourselves together to worship and

to experience Christian fellowship.

We also agree to watch over one-another in brotherly love; to remember one

another in prayer; to aid one-another in sickness and distress; to promote

family and private devotions; to search the scriptures; and to be in attendance

of Sunday School, Worship Service, and other programs offered to the church.

We further agree to live by the principals set forth in the Organizational

Discipline, and to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the

ministry, to the expenses of the church, to the relief of the poor, and to the

spread of the gospel to our neighbor.

We moreover agree to unite ourselves together in a fellowship of holiness, to go

into the highways and hedges compelling the lost to come, and to carry out the

spirit of this covenant and to the principles of God’s Word.

Education Board Report


2012 – 2013

The Education Committee met on the following occasions, February 10, March 3, April 14, July 28, and

September 8, 2013.

1. For the first time in history, the Conference held a Women’s Conference and Prayer Breakfast that

was hosted by Cherokee Chapel Church on April 27, 2013. It started at 8:00 AM and ended about

11:00 AM. After a morning of breakfast, praise and worship, devotions and prayer, a drama, a

skit from the Bible, songs of worship, a guest speaker, Doris West, and our own Sis. Connie Bullard

performed along with some special testimonial. A special thanks for all the people who donated

their time to help make this a very successful occasion. And because it was a success, we would like

to continue to do another Women Conference and Prayer Breakfast in 2014.

2. Our Annual Conference wide Study Course which was led by Rev. Dwayne Lowry and it was a

continuation of the course of 2012 of Typology with an Emphasis on Christ in the Tabernacle. It

was well received and well done with the aid of a Course Syllabus and power point outline. It was

a job well done and our hats off to Bro. Dwayne for graciously consenting to be our instructor for

another year.

3. The next order of business for our Committee was the Annual Back to School with Jesus for the

grades K-12th which was held at New Prospect Church. Hats off again to the Education

Committee and our Conference Lay Leader for a job well done. A Special Thank-You to all the

churches for their continued financial support to make this program a success. Please do not

forget to budget this program for the coming 2014 year.

4. The Education Committee also planned and implemented a Course of Study for our Conference

Ministers which was held at the Conference Building on September 3, 2013. The Study Course

was on Grief Counseling for a Pastor and his Congregation. It was led by

Dr. Theresa Bullard Jacobs from the Prospect Community. It was well outlined with syllabus and

power point outlined and notes. It was a very simple outline form which was very helpful and not

to technical and hard to understand.

5. Our goals and Recommendations for the upcoming Conference Year is the following:

a. To have our first Couple Retreat for the Married Members of our Conference.

b. We would like to have a Young People’s Retreat for our High School Scholars and Collage age

members.

c. Because of the increased work load, we would like to expand our committee to have

representation from all the churches in our Conference to help us out with these upcoming new

and old programs. As of right now, these are the churches without representation on our

committee:

1. Hopewell Church

2. Shoeheel Church

3. Maxton Church


4. Riverside Church

5. Union Chapel Church

Recommendations to the Annual Session: It is my recommendation for the Annual Conference session

with the conference functions that are being held, this starts in the pulpit. What is said there, is coming

out to our flock. The songs we sing. Please be mindful of the songs because what we sing are we actually

doing and living by those words. All of us have lots of improvement. When rules are being made by the

Conference Bar, is it just words or are we abiding by the rules and regulations of our Conference? Be

mindful of what we say. He that heareth you heareth Me; and he that despiseth you despiseth Me; and he

that despiseth Me despiseth Him that sent me. Luke 10:16 and Romans 8:28 will keep us.

Recommendations to the Annual Session

It is my recommendation for the Annual Conference session: With the conference functions that are

being held starts in the pulpit. The pastors need to be concerned and back your Lay Leader. We all

have lots of improvement. It’s going to take everybody working together to have a successful conference.

Everything we do is all about Jesus! How are we painting our pictures? Do you want to be a large

portrait and be seen or a small portrait where God can use us? John 3:16 will saved us and Roman 8:28

will keep us.

Sisters in Christ,

Mrs. Kathy Oxendine

Ms. Twila Blakley
